Blackcars Strasbourg Airport Transfers — SXB Private Transfer Service
Private transfer and chauffeur service from Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport (SXB) to all Strasbourg destinations and beyond — European Parliament, Council of Europe, ECHR, city centre, Colmar, Mulhouse, Basel, Freiburg, Frankfurt, and all French and cross-border destinations. Single terminal. Flight tracking included. Meet and greet in the arrivals hall. Gateway to Europe's second parliamentary capital and the Alsace region.
Strasbourg Airport Entzheim (SXB) — Gateway to Europe's Institutional Capital
Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport (IATA: SXB), officially Aéroport de Strasbourg-Entzheim, is the primary airport serving Strasbourg and the Alsace region of northeastern France. Located in the commune of Entzheim, approximately 10 kilometres southwest of Strasbourg city centre and 15 kilometres from the European Parliament's Louise Weiss building, it handles approximately 1.5 to 2 million passengers annually and provides essential connectivity for the stream of MEPs, Council of Europe delegates, ECHR state delegations, diplomats, and official visitors who travel to Strasbourg's European institutional campus throughout the year.
The airport operates a single modern terminal with a straightforward arrivals hall on the ground floor. A TER shuttle train service connects the airport's Entzheim Aéroport station — accessible via a covered pedestrian walkway from the arrivals level — to Gare de Strasbourg in approximately 9 to 12 minutes. For professional travellers with luggage, for delegations requiring direct transport to the European Quarter without intermediate connections, and for any group requiring coordinated arrival logistics, private chauffeur provides door-to-door service that the train cannot replicate.
Strasbourg Airport is not a hub for major intercontinental carriers. Long-haul arrivals to Strasbourg typically connect through Paris-CDG, Frankfurt, Brussels, or Zurich — each within 2 hours of Strasbourg by private chauffeur. For delegates whose itinerary routes them through another hub, we coordinate seamless onward private transfer from any of these airports to Strasbourg.
How It Works
- Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting to your actual landing at no extra charge
- Meet and greet — your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
- Single terminal — all SXB arrivals exit through the same ground-floor hall. Your driver is at the arrivals exit for your flight
- Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surprises
- Door to door — direct to the European Parliament, Council of Europe, your hotel, or any Alsace or cross-border destination
